GPS Program not Requiring Internet
What program do yall use for GPS when you are not in good enough service area to download the maps? I have an HTC Touch with Sprint and love Google Maps but get frustrated when I don't have good cell reception and can't find out where I am.

I did some searching around here and saw Garmin XT seems to be popular, any others?

Also, I have never looked at Sprint Navigation but does that require an internet cell connection to work?

Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas,
Brian

Re: GPS Program not Requiring Internet
I have used Mobile GMaps (http://www.mgmaps.com/). It supports offline maps and there are tools available to download tiles of the online maps that allows them the used offline.

Re: GPS Program not Requiring Internet
TomTom Navigator also works well without requiring an internet connection.

Re: GPS Program not Requiring Internet
I was using TomTom, but have since changed over to IGo for my GPS. Works great and the preloaded maps don't let me down when I am in airplane mode (when I am on the water or in the mountains).

Re: GPS Program not Requiring Internet
Navicomputer is cool for free, new features being added often. Read/search the XDA thread for tips on alternate maps like virtualearth.
